No other instrumental musical style has evolved quicker, or with greater
sophistication, than electric rock guitar. The influence and progression
from one generation to the next is clearly quantifiable in terms of tone,
technique, harmony, composition and versatility. Years ago, if you had a
grip on 1-4-5 progressions, pentatonic scales, a few bends and a  couple of
double-stops, you could gig or jam with pretty much anyone. Today
however, rockers must have a big bag of theoretical, musical, physical and
technical chops just to get by. And that's what Quantum Rock is all
about - essential skill development for today’s new generation of rock
guitarist.
Contemporary rock guitarists are comfortable playing over changes, have
solid command of right and left-hand techniques, can easily navigate the
fretboard vertically and horizontally, are theoretically aware, possess
strong improvisational skills and are adept at developing melodic ideas and
rhythmic grooves. Need guidance in some or all of these areas? Dig deep into
Trey Alexander's Quant um
Rock!
Your Quantum Rock instructor is Trey Alexander, Guitar Hero 2006.
“Possessing all of the qualities generally associated with the modern day
guitar hero and demonstrating them with a level of maturity far beyond his
years, Trey is the type of musician who is destined to have a significant
impact on the guitar community,” says Greg Howe. Joe Satriani agrees that,
“we’ll be hearing great things from him!” Guitar Player editor Jude Gold
raves about Trey’s “astonishing focus, devotion, and versatility.” Best of
all for we students of Quantum Rock, Trey is a natural educator with
potent communication skills.
Trey presents a range of modern rock arrangements designed to expose you to
the variety of contemporary grooves, rhythmic patterns, techniques, phra sing
and theoretical approaches that modern rock guitar players must have a grip
on. You’ll work through ballads, up-tempo power grooves, Latin-spiced rock
and jazz-rock. Trey even walks you through the arrangement that blew the
judges away and earned him the coveted Guitar Hero award.
You'll also learn Trey’s approach and subtle inflections for utilizing
expressions such as legato, tapping, sweeping and harmonics as musical
elements to serve the melody rather than distract from it. No pyrotechnical
fancy tricks or mindless shredding here.
Quantum Rock is not for the weak of heart, nor is the course suitable
for beginner or early intermediate players (check
out Trey’s beginner rock course here). While the concepts are explained
and demonstrated very clearly, you will spend serious time in the shed
getting a grip on these techniques, skills and knowledge. Fear not though,
Quantum Rock is a hands-on playing course – no tedious theory, boring
exercises or theoretical dribble. You will be rockin’ out from the very
first lesson, and will quickly develop a raging addiction for your
Quantum Rock practice sessions.
